The Legend of the Great Saint: Start from the Sign-in at Mount Tai

Chapter 444 Reunion of Old Friends
Time flies, and fireworks fade quickly.

Seven years is actually a very short time for Lu Zhou now, not enough for him to take that crucial step towards becoming a saint.

But in these seven years, or more accurately, in the nearly two years since he returned to the Burial Emperor Star, more than a dozen things have happened.

Under the starlight, Lu Zhou walked alone on the northern land, his mind once again echoing the things Yao Wentian had told him.

When he learned that Zhang Lin was completely dead, he became very worried about Yang Yi's condition.

Yang Yi was the first protector he received after embarking on his spiritual path.

He is an outstanding and highly qualified protector.

Lu Zhou asked himself, over the years, Yang Yi has been of great help to him.

It can be said that Yang Yi played a very significant role in helping him get along so smoothly at the beginning.

Because of Yang Yi, he saved a lot of time and found the old site of Yaochi in the vast northern region. There, he obtained the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist and the creation enlightenment of the Western Queen Mother, among other things.

It was Yang Yi who, within the Xuan Yuan Sect, intimidated the powerful members of the Ji family.

It was because Yang Yi was there that he was able to enter and leave the Tai Xuan Sect without any scruples, and to plot against the secrets of the word "secret".

She had always silently followed behind Lu Zhou, silently protecting him.

Even though Lu Zhou had violated her due to some misunderstandings, which made her feel ashamed and indignant, she still hid in the shadows and continued to silently follow and protect Lu Zhou.

Later, in the Fire Domain incident, Yang Yi again appeared and intervened, blocking the attack on Lu Zhou by the Ruthless Clan, making many people aware that Lu Zhou had a Saint protecting him.

This shocked countless petty people in the world who harbored designs on Luzhou.

What follows is whether Lu Zhou steps into the Holy City to take revenge on Yao Guang and stirs up a storm in the Holy City.

Yang Yi also helped him in various dungeons, including the Dragon Nest dungeon, the Sacred Cliff dungeon, the Qinling dungeon in Zhongzhou, and the battle that destroyed the Divine Valley ten years ago.

She is undoubtedly the one who has witnessed the most and the most complete picture of Lu Zhou's journey and growth over the past thirty years, apart from Lu Zhou himself!
Looking back on the glorious journey he has taken, Lu Zhou believes that even without Yang Yi protecting him after he officially began his journey across the world, he was confident that he could have risen rapidly by relying on his familiarity with the original work and his "sign-in cheat".

But he could never make this path go as smoothly as it does now.

Many things are interconnected. Often, even without Yang Yi taking action, simply letting people know that she, a saint, is protecting Lu Zhou can influence a great deal of situations.

Lu Zhou is a grateful person and a person who values ​​relationships.

Years of acquaintance, coupled with the many experiences they've shared, have made Lu Zhou and Yang Yi very close, a bond that can no longer be described as simple friendship or a protective bond.

They weren't related by blood, but they were closer than family.

It's no exaggeration to say that Yang Yi's position in Lu Zhou's heart is no less than that of Yan Ruyu and An Miaoyi.

She is completely on par with his Daoist partners, and perhaps even slightly surpasses some of the women in Lu Zhou.

This can be seen from the fact that Yang Yi was not Lu Zhou's woman, but she was still brought into Lu Zhou's Wuji Dojo and was allowed by Lu Zhou to freely browse and practice the scriptures and secret techniques that Lu Zhou had collected in the Wuji Dojo, and use all the resources in Lu Zhou's hands, as long as she wanted.

This is why Lu Zhou was so worried about Yang Yi and concerned about her situation as soon as he learned of Zhang Lin's accident.

Over the years, although Yang Yi has almost never mentioned Zhang Lin in front of him, Lu Zhou is well aware of how deep Yang Yi's feelings for Zhang Lin are through the descriptions in the original novel.

In the original novel, Yang Yi's despair after Zhang Lin's death, and the feeling that the whole world had turned completely dark, left a very deep impression on Lu Zhou.

Now, there is some news that Lu Zhou is unsure whether it can be considered good news or not.

After news spread that the fifth-generation Yuan Tian Master Zhang Lin had died, Yang Yi did not appear.

Two years ago, only Shi Yao personally led a group of people from Yaochi to the battlefield outside Zishan to investigate the truth of the matter.

The reason why Tavia Yeung did not appear is quite simple.

Yao Wentian said that he later overheard Yao Xi, who had also returned from Zishan, mentioning it to Weiwei.

Shi Yao said that Yang Yi had entered the West Emperor Tower three years ago for deep seclusion, preparing to break through to the Saint King realm.

To this day, there has been no news of Tavia Yeung having completed her quarantine.

Therefore, Yang Yi still doesn't know that Zhang Lin is completely dead.

Thinking about all this, Lu Zhou suddenly stopped.

When he came to his senses, he realized that he had unknowingly traveled thousands of miles to this oasis where the sacred Yaochi was located.

He gazed silently ahead, his eyes fixed on the sacred land of Yaochi.

In the end, Lu Zhou did not step into this oasis or enter the Jade Pool. He only stayed in place for a moment before opening the domain gate and heading towards the Demon Court.

The moment he appeared in the Demon Court, he was noticed by Wan Nian, Yan Ruyu, and others who were in the Demon Court.

At the Demon Court, Lu Zhou not only met Yao Xi and Weiwei, along with their fellow Daoist partners, but also his followers, his maids, and old friends.

Ye Fan, Monkey, Ji Zi, Li Heishui, Yao Yuekong, Xia Yiming, and others are all still in the Demon Court.

Besides them, of course, there were also Black Emperor, Roundy, Little Pine, and Little Girl.
They all rushed to the Demon Court from all directions to provide assistance a month ago after hearing that someone dared to lead a crowd to attack the Demon Court.

After that battle, with so many old friends reunited, they lingered in the Demon Court for a while longer to catch up.

When relatives and friends reunite, it is naturally a lively and bustling occasion.

Yan Ruyu arranged a banquet, and Lu Zhou suppressed some of his negative emotions as various toasts and laughter filled the air.

Inevitably, they talked about the battle that took place a month ago.

From these people involved, Lu Zhou gained a better understanding of the details and inside story of that battle.

The result of the Ancient Emperor Mountain's mass attack on the Demon Court was, of course, the complete annihilation of the Ancient Emperor Mountain lineage.

The descendants of the eight divine generals who were left by the Immortal Emperor to protect the Emperor's son were completely wiped out in this battle.

The number of ancient ancestral kings who died in this battle was even greater than the number of ancient ancestral kings when Lu Zhou led his people to destroy the Divine Spirit Valley, and the commotion caused was also much greater.

There was no other reason. This battle not only involved multiple extreme forces, resulting in a great war between extreme forces, but also caused the death of a Great Saint who was close to the Quasi-Emperor level.

That's right, we're talking about Kunzhou!
Perhaps it's fate.

Despite being touted as incredibly powerful by many ancient ancestral kings, Kun Zhou still died at the hands of the Fighting Saint King.

The monkey sat next to Lu Zhou, scratching its head as it spoke.

"Kun Zhou's involvement in this matter was both a convenient coincidence and a premeditated act!"

"He knows the relationship between you and me, my aunt and I, and he knows that if either of us asked you for help, you would definitely lend a hand."

"He also knew that if a powerful force attacked the Demon Court, or if the Demon Court fell into crisis, my aunt and I would definitely rush to its aid."

"His aim is to lure my uncle down Mount Sumeru. This involves an ancient feud." Upon hearing the monkey's words, Lu Zhou's mind immediately flashed back to the grudges between the Kunzhou lineage and the Fighting Saint Ape lineage mentioned in the original work.

When discussing the feud between these two clans, one cannot help but mention Di Que.

Di Que is Kun Zhou's uncle. If it's a joke that my son Wang Teng has the potential to be an emperor.

Then Kun Zhou truly has the right to shout, "My uncle, Di Que, possesses the bearing of an emperor!"

Di Que was a genius, even mentioned in the original work. If Di Que hadn't been born in the same era as the Monkey King's father, the Fighting Saint Emperor, then Di Que would definitely have been the last ancient emperor at the end of the Primordial Era.

He once fought against the Fighting Saint Emperor, from the Dao-Slaying Realm all the way to the Great Saint Realm.

At the Saint King realm, he became one of the few beings since the mythical era to live a second life without relying on the elixir of immortality.

Besides, the reason why the Fighting Saint Emperor almost failed when he first proved his Dao, and why his lifespan was far shorter than that of other Great Emperors and Ancient Emperors even though he took the Immortal Elixir of Immortality, was also closely related to Di Que.

All of this is enough to demonstrate how awesome Di Que is.

The most amazing thing is that in the original novel, this kid even became an emperor during Ye Tiandi's era.

Tell me, isn't he awesome?

Was the statement that my uncle Di Que possessed the bearing of an emperor an exaggeration?

Kun Zhou was not only narrow-minded, but also valued power and glory.

This can be seen from the fact that at the end of the ancient era, he colluded with some ancestral kings, intending to establish order.

This matter was clearly mentioned in the original work.

It was said by the old monkey, the Fighting Saint King, himself.

The narrow-minded Kun Zhou has always hated the Fighting Saint Ape Clan, believing that the Fighting Saint Ape Clan stole the royal honor that should have belonged to his clan.

He hates everyone associated with the Fighting Holy Ape clan and has always wanted to completely annihilate the clan.

At the end of the ancient era, Kun Zhou, separated by a vast region, bullied the weak and nearly killed Princess Shencan with a single spear, hoping to break the Dao heart of the Fighting Saint King through her death.

The Fighting Saint King cried out to the heavens in despair and fled to the Western Desert.

In addition, because the Fighting Saint King was too strong, possessing the potential of his brother, the Fighting Saint Emperor, Kun Zhou felt that he was no match for the Fighting Saint King. Therefore, Kun Zhou also deviously plotted against Di Que, who was in a somewhat dazed state at the time, causing him to attack the Fighting Saint King.

Each and every one of these events tells the world that Kun Zhou, the Fighting Saint King, and the Divine Silkworm Princess had long ago forged an irreconcilable blood feud.

Kun Zhou knew very well that if they met again in this life, there would definitely be a reckoning between the three of them.

In the end, either Princess Shencan and the Fighting Saint King will kill him, or Kunzhou will kill Princess Shencan, the Fighting Saint King, and the Holy Prince!

The moment Kun Zhou awoke from the divine source, his followers reported to him on the current situation in the world.

When he learned that in this life, there was actually a person named Lu Zhou who had created such a terrifying alliance through various means, and that he had such a good relationship with the Holy Prince and the Divine Silkworm Princess, he was shocked.

Kun Zhou's face turned black, and he looked terrible.

Without a doubt, given Lu Zhou's character, just as the monkey just said, if Princess Shencan or the monkey and the others had asked him to seek revenge on Kun Zhou, Lu Zhou would have immediately set off without hesitation.

That's absolutely the kind of pace where they'll give you whatever people want, and whatever imperial weapons they want.

Kun Zhou was able to think of this.

After all, Lu Zhou's character and consistent style of doing things are clear to anyone in the world who knows him even slightly.

Therefore, Kunzhou had to take Luzhou into account when it came to this reckoning.

He knew he was in a weak position, so he knew he had to seek outside help.

Otherwise, are we just going to wait for Princess Divine Silkworm and the Fighting Holy Ape to come knocking on our door?
Then he would obediently offer his neck for execution?

This is impossible!

Regarding foreign players.

In the original work, the Emperor's sons were pawns he plotted against.

Now, the Crown Prince's faction is not only his pawn, but also an ally he wants to win over.

At this time, the Emperor's faction had already discovered that the Emperor had been harmed by the Demon Court.

They hit it off immediately.

Lu Zhou has not appeared for a long time. There are rumors that he is in seclusion, while others say that he, like Pang Bo and others, has long since embarked on the ancient star road and left the Big Dipper.

Kun Zhou believed that Lu Zhou's absence from Beidou was the perfect opportunity for him to deal with Princess Shencan and the lineage of the Fighting Saint Ape.

Relatively speaking, he believed he had a better chance of winning at this point.

In order to achieve success in one fell swoop, he used all his strength, not only appearing in secret as in the original work, but also colluding with some powerful extraterrestrials who had arrived in Beidou early on, using benefits to incite trouble.

He also used some of the methods mentioned in the original work.

For example, go to Wanlong Nest and borrow Wanlong Bell.

For example, they could run to the Golden Cave and bring back the Great Sage, the Golden King, to join them in besieging and killing the Fighting Saint King.

At the end of the ancient era, Di Que had done a great favor for Wanlong Nest, and Wanlong Nest owed Di Que a debt of gratitude.

The situation of the Golden King is similar to that of the Dragon Nest.

The father of the Golden King was not only a close friend of Di Que, but Di Que had also saved the father's life twice.

These all need to be repaid.

Yao Xi said with a smile.

"Kunzhou used this as an excuse to successfully borrow the Dragon Bell from the Dragon Nest and also brought in the Golden King."

"Even so, Kun Zhou still miscalculated!"

"He not only misjudged our strength, but also the Holy King's combat power."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yan Ruyu added with a smile.

"He also miscalculated a little."

"He didn't know that the Dragon Maiden informed me the moment Wanlongchao lent him the Wanlong Bell."
